5 Common Health Food Mistakes

In a special report published on the Track Your Plaque (TYP) website, five foods that are generally considered healthy are highlighted as “landmines” of diet.  TYP recommends staying away from these foods to avoid weight gain, pre-diabetes, and unfavorable lipid and lipoprotein patterns. 

 Bananas:  Fruits generally contain a good source of flavonoids, which provide blood pressure-lowering, plaque-shrinking, and cancer-preventing benefits.  However, bananas have very low levels of flavonoids with HUGE amounts of sugar, taking away most of the nutritional value.

 Low-fat or Non-fat Salad Dressings: A principle ingredient in these products is high-fructose corn syrup, which causes a huge rise in triglycerides, resulting in abnormal lipoprotein particles, like small LDL, VLDL, and a drop in healthy HDL. 

 Whole Wheat Bread: The glycemic index (blood sugar raising effect) of whole wheat is almost identical to basic table sugar.  The result is raised triglycerides, increased small LDL, and lower HDL. 

 Wheat Bran Cereals:  While the insoluble wheat fibers in these cereals are good for bowel health, they do not contribute much to anything else, including heart health.  These foods raise blood sugar substantially and provoke similar responses as those for whole wheat bread.

 Potatoes:  White potatoes contain too much sugar and release it too quickly to be considered healthy.  In some cases, the glycemic index even exceeds that of table sugar.
